I am continuing the theme of 'Unusual Containers' - and this time the flowers are Roses.

I wanted to show a very traditional flower like the rose being arranged in some unusual containers.

Roses are the world's most popular flowers and there are so many of them that you'll find one for every taste.

"There are roses for every soil and position. There are roses for tropical climates and roses that will flourish in the Arctic Circle. Most roses bloom non-stop until the first frost of winter; in warm climates, they flower for 12 months of the year. They tolerate neglect, but respond generously to extra care. For the lazy gardeners - and busy people with little time to waste - roses cannot be beaten."

Why not make your own flower arrangements! Every week on my blog I arrange and style lots of seasonal flowers. I will show you how to make quick, easy and inexpensive arrangements that are also pretty, stylish and creative. There will be advice on how to select and combine flowers and I’m sharing my tips and tricks of the flower trade. To find out more about me go to my About page.
